• Resistance to change
o One of the characteristics of an attitude
o Takes much persuasion to change
o Not all attitudes are so resistant to change
▪ i.e. it usually takes much persuasion to change a strongly held attitude such as that towards, capital punishment or abortion • Modification potential through training o Personality, attitudes, & behavior play a role in attitude management o It is unrealistic to imagine that routine training in particular or in general have a significant influence on personality traits o Modifying personality through routine service training, a more sanguine approach can be adopted with respect to attitudes. ▪ i.e. Many airlines with considerable encouragement from agencies such as ICAO and the FAA are emphasizing the management of flight deck resources through formal courses in CRM (Cockpit Resource Management) • Persuasive Communication

o Communication has several functions. The object may simply be to obtain something, like buying an airline ticket. This is called an instrumental function. o Another function may be to find something out or explain something. This is called an informative function. o The purpose is trying to get someone to modify an attitude or a behavior pattern. o On social occasions, discussions on politics, religion, and music often develop into trying to persuade someone to change an attitude. o Debates and discussions involve an active, two way process of persuasion. • The Originator

o Person speaking should have credibility o Studies suggest that in many cases persuasiveness will increase if the communicator has something in common with the audience ▪ i.e. When a toothpaste advertisement illustrates a doctor advising a patient to use a certain brand. • The Message

o Information is available to assist in this task.
o An initial consideration is whether the message should contain both sides of an argument or...

...Much has been written in recent years about terrorist attacks and weapons of mass destruction. Explosives are the weapon of choice for many terrorists as reported by the media on a routine basis. The bombing of the PanAm Flight 103 that occurred on December 21, 1988 over Lockerbie and Galloway was no different. This bombing became the largest criminal investigation that was led by the smallest police force. (CIA)
The New York bound flight fell out of the sky being in the air less than 40 minutes and killed all 243 passengers, 16 crew members and 11 people in Lockerbie. The explosion that occurred led to a deconstruction of the aircraft that happen rapidly. (CIA) The debris of the plane and the victim’s bodies were scattered along an 845 square mile radius. (CIA) The search parties were split up into 8 – 10 people and told “If it isn’t growing and it isn’t a rock, pick it up”. (The Crash of PanAm Flight 103) Within hours the images of the crash site that were taken by the French satellites as well as the United States Department of Defense and National Aeronautics and Space Administration were delivered to the investigators. Thousands of pieces of debris where found, bagged, tagged and entered into a computer tracking system. (Encyclopedia)
Every piece of evidence was taken to a school gymnasium, X-rayed and was checked for explosives using a gas chromatograph. All results were then entered into an...

...Late Classical Period (Dionysus and Pan)
Based on the visual observations and analysis conducted on paper assignment one, I would classify the sculpture, Dionysus and Pan, under the Late Classical period. This sculpture depicts Dionysus, the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, together with Pan, his follower. It is sculpted from the finest marble which was created in the Roman period A.D. 50-150. Artists from this period of time drew a lot of attention to the statues’ expression of emotion and gesture form. The three dimensional perfect human body also contributed to the factor of determining the culture of the sculpture. It is said that there was a revolution in Greek statuary and art, the Late Classical period made a massive changes in the style and function of sculptures. Ancient Greek artists did have profound effects throughout the ages and contributed a lot to the Western civilization.
The Late Classical period began when the Peloponnesian War took place between the Delian League by Athens and the Peloponnesian League by Sparta in 431 BCE. There was political corruption, the leadership of Greece was weakened and undertook. People were suffering from the economy depression. The political upheaval ended idealism of the Early Classical period. All these causes created a great impact of art during that period of time. Individualism arose and artists placed more interested in their own personal visions. In other...

...reduced to the story of his father, who died and broke the watch. Vidal knows that he is just living to die. He’s counting the minutes and seconds and hates himself for it. We can see this when he runs up the hill and says “this is the only decent way to die” and he also slices at his reflection in his mirror while shaving. It actually seems like he wants to die.
Ofelia was confronted by a “fairy” who led her to the middle of the Labyrinth in which she met the Faun. Now in Greek mythology, fauns and the god Pan, were very similar. They were both half-man half goat, bearing the hindquarters, legs and horns of a goat. Pan, was the god of nature, shepherds and flocks. The faun in the movie becomes a shepherd and in this case guides Ofelia through her actual and figurative Labyrinth she must undergo. So it’s quite obvious that the faun appears as the mentor in the movie and helps Ofelia get back to her true father. I can safely assume that the faun in Pan’s Labyrinth, is actually Pan. Despite, the faun’s monstrous appearance, he is actually the only one in Ofelia’s life that actually understands her desire to become more and to reach her full potential. So the faun tells Ofelia that in order to get back to the Underworld, she must complete 3 tasks to prove that she has not become a human.
Now, back to the time element. Vidal’s time clock isn’t the only one going on. The clock that really drives the movie is that what Ofelia must...

...well-being? Peter Pan was one of those kids that never truly felt loved and never wanted to grow-up. He is known as “The lost boy”.
On December 7, 1941, one of our former Presidents; President Franklin D. Roosevelt said; “A day which will live in infamy”. It was a day that the United States joined the war after Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. government took over the Hollywood Movie Studios and started working with Walt Disney himself. The Army Personnel were stationed at the studios and lived there for the duration of the war. Movies such as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Wind in the Willow, Song of the South, Mickey and the Beanstalk, and Bongo were put on hold. Instead of movies, War Propaganda was sold to the public. It was not until 1953 that the first animated movie of Peter Pan showed up in theaters across the United States and other countries as well. Let’s turn our focus away from the movie aspect of Peter Pan and look at what our history and culture have determined what Peter Pan is, in the Ancient Greek times.
The God Pan is a product of Greek mythology, shown as a Satyr, a half-man and half-goat, he was known for lusting after women, playing the pipes, and serving as the God of shepherds and herders. Barrier exploits the character of Pan in Kensington Gardens and the God Pan, by the similarity of the bodies, both...

...Coraline and Peter Pan
What is the role of a child and their innocence? This is a topic that can be discussed thoroughly and quite in depth with many people. The element of a child’s innocence plays an extremely important role in their life for not only the reason of staying a “child” but also refraining them from growing up too fast when it is not necessary. The innocence of a child is precious, malleable, and cannot always be retrieved once it is lost. Sometimes a child is forced to become an adult, from various external influences through experiences in their life, which can quickly result in the child losing their innocence. As we see in Coraline, a young girl is forced to temporarily lose her innocence because of the sudden disappearance of her parents and also the agreement that she has made with her “other” mother. While in Peter Pan, he chooses to never let go of his child innocence because he does not want to face the reality of growing up and the responsibilities that becoming an adult. The innocence of a child plays a crucial role in ones life; we see the problem within Coraline and Peter Pan whether it is being desperately being held on to or it is being lost and forced into adulthood thoughts and responsibility.
The meaning of holding onto ones childhood innocence can be described as remaining in a childlike state for as long as the person can hold on for. An example of someone holding on to his or her childhood...

...Eggs in a pan (Oeufs sur plat) is a still life painting by french artist Antoine Vollon. It is an oil painting on canvas depicting four eggs and their yellow yolks in a pan, sitting on a shelf or bench next to a pitcher of (presumably) water or milk. It was painted in the period between 1885 and 1890 and is now a part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria.
The artist, Antoine Vollon, was born in France in the year 1833. He focused primarily on still life painting but also painted figures and landscapes. During his lifetime he enjoyed the status of a celebrity and was widely acknowledged with a great reputation. After completing an apprenticeship as an engraver, teaching himself painting and printmaking, he moved from Lyon to Paris in the year 1859 to further his craft. He was very inspired by the Dutch style of still life painting during that time, which is evident in his own style.
The painting is realistic, however it is not fully refined (arguably the intentional effect) as you can clearly make out a number of different brush strokes within the painting, which betray the painter's technique. The dark background of the painting is a also common characteristic of still life paintings as it allows the featured objects in the foreground to become more prominent. For example, the spanish bodegon paintings would implement a similar technique, framing their still life objects on selves or windowsills with very dark,...

...Pan-Africanism and the Organization of African Unity
Pan Africanism Definition
Pan-Africanism is a sociopolitical worldview, and philosophy, as well as a movement, which seeks to unify both native Africans and those of the African Diaspora, as part of a "global African community".
Pan Africanism represents the aggregation of the historical, cultural, spiritual, artistic, scientific and philosophical legacies of Africans from past times to the present. Pan Africanism as an ethical system, traces its origins from ancient times, and promotes values that are the product of the African civilization and struggles against slavery, racism, colonialism, and neo-colonialism.
Pan-Africanism is usually seen as a product of the European slave trade, rather than as something arising in the continent of Africa itself. George Shepperson described it best by saying, "Pan-Africanism was the gift of the New World of America to the Old World of Africa". Enslaved Africans of diverse origins and their descendants found themselves embedded in a system of exploitation where their African origin became a sign of their servile status. Pan-Africanism set aside cultural differences, asserting the principality of these shared experiences to foster solidarity and resistance to exploitation. In reality, African American and Afro-Caribbean...
